Ski tracks was recommended to me by quite a few people. Free version is available but lots of people say the full app is worth the 79p.

@glisser, SkiTracks is great! It gives you your maximum speed each day so you have a target to beat. If you strap the iPhone to your inner wrist you can see the speed live and watch the numbers increase while you are actually head down in a schuss.

Does this use the GPS system and thus trash your phone battery?

Used ski tracks for years and love it. As said the 79p upgrade is worth it , especially as it allows you to save old ski tracks. Agree that it can become dangerous as everyone tries to clock the fastest speed.
A new one is the crystal ski app. Will try this in a few weeks when I an in Tignes. It downloads the piste maps and appears to place you on the map. It has suggested runs but this needs more data. It also claims to have an option like find friends so you can see where your friends are in the resort. Would require data roaming for the mountain (will stop this for me  ) but assuming you use wifi in bars and cafes, may prove useful.
Of course, come next year when data roaming charges are equalised across EU, apps like this could come into their own!

Ski tracks is good. But as above it can lead to digital c0ck waving.
I'm guilty of it myself.

My digital cock is arguably a lot bigger than the flesh and blood one.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Ski tracks is great and you don't HAVE to see if you get into 3 figures in km/hr in terms of speed. There are other games - 10000m of descent for instance, although that's made easier if you got fast lifts and long runs and is hampered by slow lifts and short runs - I'm looking at you les Gets, grrrrr.
The best bits are that it breaks down your day into individual runs so that you can see speeds, distances, gradient, times, what songs you were listening to, where you took your photos and it will also plot them against google maps so you can see your circuit. Then you can automatically upload it up to faceache for bragging rights there.
Does use GPS. Does not use data. My i phone 4 and 5 will last out a whole day of first to last lift provided I keep the phone in an inside pocket.
